Hey Larry- Yeah, this fantasy flick redux released on a reality check weekend just hit me wrong this year.
Around anything hyped I usually get very sleepy, yet this ‘need for speed’ movie hype that seemed to be everywhere - (I was hesitant to open a fresh bar of soap to shower for fear Cruise’s face would be imprinted on it - thankfully, surface smooth as butta)
…and it was smothering the solemn quiet of MemDay weekend, and getting under my skin.
It almost seemed deliberate, and obtusely out of touch - until I slapped myself awake from my dozing and realized, as Randy Newman crooned, ‘It’s money that matters’.
Of course, geez, now all is in its rightful place. ?
